Accurate Weir the pick for the Players’

MIKE WEIR looks the pick, at a general 20-1, to capitalise on the indifferent form of world No 1 Tiger Woods by claiming the Players’ Championsip, the unofficial fifth golf major, at Sawgrass, starting Thursday.

Last year’s Masters hero has made a bright start to the new year, winning the Nissan Open and bagging two other top-tens from six starts. Moreover, he has the ideal game for Sawgrass, a course that places a premium on accuracy, leading the tour stats with 75 per cent of greens hit in regulation.
